Bedrich Hecht's wife and son

Report an issue

This is a photograph of my wife Hedviga with our son Peter, from 1958 or 1959.

We have one son, he was born in 1955 and is named Peter. We brought him up in both Christian and Jewish tradition. But he doesn't observe either one. During Communist times, our son had problems because of my father being a landowner. It was hard for him to get into university. He graduated from medicine. He's got a son, Daniel, who's 23 and is studying medicine. We're proud of our son, he's a good and decent boy.
